Research suggests that the academic achievement of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students is result a complex interplay many factors. These factors include characteristics (e.g., hearing thresholds, language fluencies, mode communication, communication functioning), their family environments parent education level, socioeconomic status), experiences inside outside school placement, having been retained at grade level). This paper examines relative importance such to U.S. DHH secondary...

Deaf learners frequently demonstrate significantly less vocabulary knowledge than hearing age-mates. Studies involving other domains of knowledge, and perhaps deaf learners' academic performance, indicate similar lags with regard to world knowledge. Such gaps often are attributed limitations on children's incidental learning by virtue not having access the conversations others. Cochlear implants (CIs) have been described as providing such access, rapid growth in vocabularies following...

Abstract Norms on 464 metaphors are presented for 10 dimensions representing ratings of comprehensibility, some perceived metaphoric qualities, imagery values, familiarity, and tenor-vehicle relatedness. The items were either literary selected from works poetry (N = 204) or nonliterary generated by the experimenters 260). Analyses normative data indicated that (a) mean reliable (average Cronbach alpha 0.88); (b) even so, individuals varied in their reactions to metaphors; (c) correlated...
Reading achievement among deaf students typically lags significantly behind hearing peers, a situation that has changed little despite decades of research. This lack progress and recent findings indicating face many the same challenges in comprehending sign language as they do text suggest difficulties frequently observed their learning from may involve more than just reading. Two experiments examined college students’ material science texts. Passages were presented to (signing) print or...
Decades of research have demonstrated that deaf children generally lag behind hearing peers in terms academic achievement, and lags some areas may never be overcome fully. Hundreds intervention studies been aimed at improving the situation, but they resulted only limited progress. This paper examines cognitive functioning among learners, describing integrating indicates them to differ significantly from learners ways likely affect learning. Findings demonstrating domains such as...
For both practical and theoretical reasons, educators educational researchers seek to determine predictors of academic success for students at different levels from populations. Studies involving hearing the postsecondary level have documented significant relating various demographic factors, school experience, prior attainment. deaf hard-of-hearing focused primarily on younger variables such as degree loss, use cochlear implants, placement, communication factors-although these typically are...

It is frequently assumed that deaf individuals have superior visual-spatial abilities relative to hearing peers and thus, in educational settings, they are often considered visual learners. There some empirical evidence support the former assumption, although it inconsistent, apparently none latter. Three experiments examined related cognitive among who varied their preferred language modality use of cochlear implants (CIs) sign skills. Sign spoken assessments accompanied tasks involving...
